ANKARA, May 2 (Reuters) - Turkish air force planes launched a bombing raid against camps of the Kurdish separatist group PKK in the Qandil area of northern Iraq late on Thursday, the state news agency Anatolian said.

The raids, by several Turkish air force jets, began just before midnight and continued into Friday, Anatolian said. (Writing by Selcuk Gokoluk; editing by Andrew Dobbie)
